While lib/checksum.c does not make this assumption, other architectures
(x86, ARM, powerpc, mips, arc) do make this assumption. Architectures
seem to only align the header on a word boundary in do_csum. I worry
that the benefit of aligning iph in this "fast" csum function would
disproportionately impact hardware that has fast misaligned accesses.
